Workflow. Depicted is our workflow to match patient-reported outcome questionnaires with the standardized terminologies LOINC and SNOMET CT to enable semantic interoperability. The workflow marked in black depicts the procedure to analyze the current status of terms included in both terminologies. If a term still needs to be included, we suggest the blue workflow to extend the terminologies. The empty box indicates the end of the procedure. LOINC: Logical Observation Identifiers, Names, and Codes; SNOMED CT: Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms.
